@@Morgzy I don't think you read the whole comment, I said what if I've got a bag or some other setup on the back for that particular trip and don't want to fold it? And I know you can do that half fold thing to keep it from falling over, it's still worse than having a kick stand. It just takes fewer steps to deploy a kick stand than to lift and half fold the bike. Why does a bike that costs thousands lack a feature that every 100$ wall mart bike has?

Let's talk about a cost-no-object Brompton T-Line electric build. There are many ways to do this. The standard 4-speed T-Line weigh 17.5 lbs. One option is to buy the bike and leave as is. 4-speed gearing is too narrow and 12-speed gearing is a mess. Based upon what I've learned, 6-speed gearing on the Brompton T-Line is optimal. This means that the gearing on the T-Line would need to be replaced. Websites like "Brompton Kitchen" sell many upgrades for the T-Line. Not only can you replace the cogs and chainring but upgrade many T-Line parts to bring the weight down to 15 lbs, which would make a minimum difference on ride quality but would make the bike more portable and easier to carry up and down stairs. Let's talk about making the T-Line electric. The lightest option for the T-Line would be to add the Zehus 250 watt all-in-one hub at the rear, as used on the Hummingbird, single speed, 15.5 mph maximum. Based on my calculations, if parts on the T-Line are replaced to lower the weight to 15 lbs, the 7 lb. Zehus would hub would bring the weight to a featherweight 22 lbs., still super light for portability. There are, of course, other options. You can use 6-speed cogs or 9-speed cogs and a 52T chainring. You can retrofit a Rohloff hub on the rear and you can use a 250 Swytch gear electric hub and battery on the front. With 9-speeds or a Rohloff hub, together with a 250 watt hub on the front, this would allow the bike to achieve 30 mph top speeds on the flats with little pedaling effort, perhaps with a weight not exceeding 25 lbs. Of course, you can add a 500 watt front electric hub and large battery pack too which might defeat the purpose of buying the T-Line in the first place. If you were to electrify the T-Line, what would be your dream build and why? Thanks.

I've been riding this bike for about a month kzfaq.infoUgkxwC0IIeIomGQVeBWg-kKJaToZkLEFIA2W and a half now and I think it's fantastic. It helps me get to work on time every day since I'm able to fit it inside of public transportation rush hour. The price is great too, people are always shocked when they ask me how much I paid for the fold up and I tell them "200". It's easy to fold and installation when it ships is insanely easy. All you have to install when the bike arrives is one foot pedal, everything else is done for you. I do recommend you carry some sort of wrench to tighten any loose screws on the handle bar and seat whenever they get a little bit loose. Other than that I think it's a fantastic bike. Easily fits in the home, can fit inside a car trunk and can even fit in subway rush hour.

we see a lot of full-size electric bikes zipping around without the rider ever turning a pedal, seemingly over substantial distances. does the Brompton's motor allows for that or is the system such that the human needs to contribute continuously? if the bike can ride on its own 'steam', what kind of range are we talking about?
@VelorutionLondon11 ай бұрын
An interesting point you've raised. A bike that requires no pedal assistance is actually considered in law as a motorised vehicle, and thus requires a driving licence, tax, insurance and a number plate... The Brompton being a brilliant folding electric eBike will require you to pedal. It has a range of anything up to 50miles and is fully legal in the UK. Hope this helps

@VelorutionLondon Жыл бұрын
It's certainly a good choice for a fair weather, or any weather bike/car replacement. The only onboard security is a wheel lock. We fully recommend investing in extra security with a gold secure rated lock, and as like a car, insure this bike against theft and damage. We offer 10 days free insurance when you purchase with us to get you started, and we can advise you on any security questions you might have and provide you with exactly what you need.

Consider though that we are discussing a folding commuter bike which is designed to be lightweight and efficient. Material strength really doesn't come into the equation as you can make something as strong as you like, only with more material strength comes more weight and therefore less efficiency, motor power and battery life will be highly impacted too. We have plenty of great options for you on our website that are designed with strength in mind and a motor that can handle 200kg + capacities - www.velorution.com
